Authorized Partner for United States (US)In regulated environments, the FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE often stays deployed well past typical commercial refresh cycles. Extended government, defense, and financial infrastructure timelines make 5-year contract terms practical — and the Secure RMA requirement that comes with that environment doesn’t change over time. FC-10-S424F-301-02-60 provides 5-year Secure RMA coverage in a single activation, covering the switch from day one through the full lifecycle without annual renewal management.
The same hardware retention terms as the 1- and 3-year versions, extended to five years. If the FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE fails at any point during the contract, Fortinet ships a replacement. The failed unit stays with the customer for on-site destruction — no return shipping, no chain-of-custody gap in the RMA supply chain. As with all Priority RMA add-ons, FortiCare Premium or Elite must remain active on the device for the contract to remain in force.

For the FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE, the RMA add-on service tiers cover a range of scenarios:
The -301- Secure RMA tier is not about speed. It’s about hardware custody. If return shipping of the failed unit is acceptable, the -210- or -212- tiers cover the response-time requirements at a lower price point. Secure RMA is the right choice only when hardware retention is a compliance requirement.
Priority RMA add-on services require FortiCare Premium or Elite. The table below shows what each base FortiCare tier includes for hardware support and which tiers are eligible for this add-on.

| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
